Site for new Warren fire/rescue station to be studied
The Town Council approved a request last week to begin a feasibility study on a proposed site that could become the home of a new central location for a fire and rescue station for the Warren Fire Department.
The land, currently a park owned by the Town, is located near the intersection of Kickemuit and Serpentine Roads, behind the Bristol County Water Authority’s plant.
Warren Fire Chief James Sousa said on Tuesday that the new facility would enable better response time for EMS services, and provide a better, more central location for firefighters to receive classroom training and for residents to receive services such as vaccinations and Covid testing.
The feasibility study is only a preliminary step in the process, but an allocation of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) money has enabled the town to conduct it without additional cost burden on the Town.
